Service was professional and swift, and the food was pretty good - burgers were particularly tasty though fries were not up to the best Belgian standards. Overall, a good, casual place close to Midi.

Amazing food, great service with fast and so polite waiters, beautiful place. Only thing is that the tables are kind of too near to each other

Food quality was very good. We shared a Mediterranean salad for starter. My wife had the homemade vegetarian lasagne for the main course. I had the starter portion of grilled prawns for the main course. All the food was very well prepared and presented. My prawns were covered in sauce and needed to have their shells removed. I expected a side plate/ bowl for the shells and extra table napkin and wet finger wipe to be supplied. These are served as common practices in restaurants. I received neither. Our seating was in an extremely cramped corner on the top floor. I had to move my seat to allow a guest leave his table beside ours. Overall the service and table positioning was sub standard.

Had a reservation but still had to wait 20 minutes. Food was very good. Busy night so service was a little slow. Bring patience with you.

The best restaurant in town. It was well worth the walk from the city center to reach this slightly out-of-the-way spot. The food is excellent—I highly recommend the rabbit with beer sauce. Simply delicious.
